Could the "stringy things" be rootings? If so you might still need to get a plumber, then a tree might have crushed your pipes.

Sir, I stand in awe.

You know those times when you think "I'm going to look back on this and laugh" (as you wipe away a single poignant tear)? Well, now you get to think "I'm going to look back on this and make the readers of Curbly laugh".

Kudos upon you for courage under fire/poop and living to tell the tale!

Some things you don't piss with, and that's sewage. Here's a story about poop soup:

There was a guy, whose job it was to pump the poop from port-a-potties. One day, while sucking waste, his equipment malfunctioned. Suddenly, as if God had a bad case of the trots, it began, seemingly, to rain sewage. The man was showered in funky droplets. One of these pearly beads found its way to his lip. The man's natural reaction was to slip his tongue out and swip off the dew. As soon as he did it, he knew he might be in trouble. Several days later the honey-pumper came down with meningitis. He recalled his poop shower, lip and tongue to his physicians and they said, "Yeah, that probably did it."

And the lesson we learn? It's best not to piss with poop, if you can avoid it. Call a plumber; that's why they make the big bucks.
